A model for the nonthermal energy of broad line active galactic nuclei, in which the rotational energy released by the central source is carried away by a strong MHD wind is outlined. At a certain distance from the central object, this wind is terminated by a strong (fast) magnetosonic shock which dissipates its energy in the spectral branches. When the central object is a supermassive magnetized and rapidly rotating object, the centrifugal instability can drive a strong MHD wind away from the equatorial region. Since the light cylinder for rapidly rotating supermassive objects is very close to the surface of the object, the discussion of wind flows from such objects has to be based on relativistic MHD.
